The lower quarter and corner of the building reminds me a lot of 50 Scollard! No real complaints here though, if the materials hold up this will be a handsome little tower

Don't you know? This is a 'no dog' district! Or at least a no new dog district!

Honestly, brownie points to the group for being explicit with their concern over property values. It's rare for groups to be open about it.

I wonder if they will actually go with the whole red paving. That will complement the buildings on the other side of the street so much

It's so interesting to think about a very differently diffused old city of Toronto wherein large-ish corporations had HQs in "midtown" (am thinking about Rolex, Shell/Exxon on St Clair and Union Carbide on Eglinton. It's both a testament to a very different corporate world (more mid-sized corporations vis-a-vis today's concentrated world of 6 major banks, 3 tel-co's, and whatever Weston owns), and probably a more car-sized city, wherein folks were driving to these offices (?)

Ya it is very interesting, I think a lot of it may have been things you have pointed out, but also the changing scale of the city has changed the "real" location of these offices. When built, I image stuff on St. Clair and Eglinton was viewed similarly to how we see the office clusters at Yonge/Shep. The city grew and all the sudden the Midtown office clusters were in a bad spot, too far from the agglomeration benefits of the core, but also too deep in the urban centre to enjoy enhanced auto-mobility and low land prices
